sa w Mills on the River.

Kinsey's saw mill, on the island oDpo-
site the foot of Barnard street, which has
been idle for three years, has been over
hauled and enlarged, and is now busy
saving lumber for Northern markets.
The supply of timber comes from the Sa-
vannah, Ogeechee and CanoOchee rivers.
Maj. T. l., Klnsey reports business very
brisk, the only drawback being the diff
Guilty in getting timber. His mill Is on
what is probably the oldest steam MILL
site in Georgia, and has ample depth of
water at its wharVes to load vessels OF
heavy draft.
The saw mills have as a rule been
moved from the river and located either
near the railroad tracks in the city or to
the interior, so as to be convenient to the
pine lands and away from the water
courses, but the starting up OF Kinsey's
mill and the business that is being done by
the Vale Royal mills, shows that the sup
ply OF timber is not exhausted from the
rivers In the vicinity of this city.

no grounds for action against the city
and all they could do would be to bring
action against the police.
LAST NIGHT'SlMEETING.
They did not have a parade last night.
The reason assigned was that one OF the
musicians was sick and all we're tired.
The meeting was largely attended, but no
serious row occurred. Policeman Dun
ham was on duty in the hall during the
entire service, and one arrest was made
for disorderly conduct. During the SER
vice a volley OF eggs was fired through
a raised window on the Bryan street
side. One egg caught Capt. Hoerl,on the
right breast anG chung TO him. He was
reading and paused, only for moment,
to caution the audience not to be alarmed.
Several young men and boys were re-
fused admission, and some OF them COM
planned that it was because they would
not contribute at the door.

city that the plaintiffs signed receipts in
full for compensation. All OF the at.
torneys originally connected with the suit

plaintiffs. Mr.. George s. Owens and Mr..
Neyle Habersham were examined yes
